Christoph Malin, world-renowned night
sky film expert, has perfected the time-lapse "holy grail!"
In the world of time-lapse photography, this is a really BIG
deal!

Malin uses GBTimelapse for all of his shots in The ESO
Observatories: Atacama Transitions and Landscapes under the
Southern Sky, his latest video from the ESO Ultra HD
Expedition. Malin's use of GBTimelapse allows him to achieve
the elusive sunset, sunrise and overnight "holy grail." This
video is comprised of a collection of great and unique day to
night to day transitions under the Southern sky in Chile's
Atacama desert.

About the Video
Malin was on the ESO Ultra HD Expedition, sponsored by Granite Bay Software,
when he shot this latest video. You can learn more about the
expedition HERE.

About the Rig
The rigs he calls "bots" have GBTimelapse controlling an
eMotimo TB3 pan/tilt and a Dynamic Perception dolly. GBT uses
it's AutoRamp algorithm to control the exposure along with an
"aperture pull" during sunset and sunrise. He is able to start
the rig in the afternoon, leave it over night and return in
the morning. The result is two "holy grail" overnight shots,
unattended!
